Okay, we don't actually call this sweet little girl (who you can see as a smiling one-day-old baby here and an accessorizing teenager here) Spot anymore, since her cute brown spot faded away a while ago, but I couldn't resist that title. We now call this guy Spot instead, because his spot is definitely not going anywhere.

This young ewe may be nearly grown up, but she hasn't lost all of her cute—and because it somehow slipped passed us on docking days, she also still has her long tail. Now if she only had an 'F' name as sweet as she is (all the 2009 babies born on the farm get names that begin with F, 2008 was 'E' names, etc.). Any suggestions? (Freida, Franny, and Friendly are already taken.)

I keep loving your blog...it always makes me smile, especially on a day when I've had to put up with more urban situations (traffic, cellphone-talking jerks in in line in front of me, parking tickets...). Sigh.

Hi Everybody,Well this is so interesting (and fun!). I moderated the first six comments at once, which means that without knowing what each other said, three of you voted for Fiona.

And in the next batch of comments, two of you voted for Francesca.

These names are all great - please keep them coming. We have several other poor little ewe lambs who still need F names, too! I'm thinking I must have named more than three of them already, but if I have, I'm totally blanking them out - which might be even worse than having not named them in the first place. : )

I'd like to offer up Filucy...who was until fairly recently just about the sweetest little black doggie in the whole wide world. Named after Filucy Bay where she decided she'd be perfectly happy to jump aboard my pop's boat and live with him the rest of her days.

First off, those sheep are adorable! I can't get enough of sheep. A huge percentage of the photos I took while in England were of the sheep and lambs. My husband would just roll his eyes, and remind me that we have sheep in the States too. :-)

This "Old" Spot's little spot almost looked heart shaped. And "New" Spot...well now, THAT is a spot. Almost looks like you struck oil with that one - lol. Maybe his name could be Earl (for oil...get it? even though you're past the "E" names).

And since "Old" Spot's spot was on her tush, "Fanny" definitely seems to be the appropriate name for her.

Name her after me! Fay. Actually that is my name I go by, but my real name is Fotine. Foto in Greek means light and actually the name translates to Epiphany. Or how about Faedra, Fanny, Faysie, Fayster. I love your Blog and truely enjoy all your posts/pics. What true blessings, to be surrounded by your wonderful land and animals, oh and Farm Guy too!Peace out!

January 2013 update: I know word verification is a big pain, but it's the only way I can stop the ridiculous number of anonymous spam comments I get every day. I don't want to require commenters to be registered Blogger or Open ID users because I know many of you aren't. Thanks so much for your understanding!
